[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1119147, member: 39702"] Mozilla didn't change their business model, they just changed the wording in their privacy policy and terms of use, nothing else. They had to do that because laws in some countries interpret word "sell" differently. In some countries "sell" means exchange something for money, in others "sell" means just "transferring" as well. Mozilla clarified this and changed the text again in order to clear confusion. Beside, as I already said hundred times, Firefox is the only web browser that lets you completely in control. If you don't want to share data with Mozilla, you can completely turn off data collection in settings and about:config (just to be sure). Unlike in Chrome or Edge where you cannot completely turn off data collection. This is now beyond paranoia level. If Mozilla was really so vulnerable and easy to hack, it would make a perfect target for hackers, despite small user base. We have yet to see Firefox-specific attacks. At least Firefox lets you disable data collection. Chrome and Edge doesn't even do that. I'm not sure about Opera, but I doubt that. Last time I used Opera, it would send every request to [ICODE]sitecheck2.opera.com[/ICODE] and I never managed to stop it so I just stopped using it. [/QUOTE]
